text: NYC | Remote Yes<p>I work with clients in a wide array of industries, helping them better understand their business software needs.  Though my focus is on scrappy prototypes and proofs-of-concept, some of the projects do escape into actual use.<p>I am looking for subcontractor(s) to assist in two general capacities:<p>- Project discovery, requirements gathering and design, and backlog management.  If you have a keen understanding of user behavior and an uncanny knack for organization, you&#x27;d be a great addition.
- Ops- and infrastructure-focused development.  If you nerd out on observability and dream in some IaaC language, I want to talk to you.  I&#x27;m NOT looking for someone to be on call.<p>Since the projects vary widely, specific technologies are not required.  Don&#x27;t worry if you&#x27;re not yet an expert!  Rather, your ability to quickly be productive in new tools is much more important.  Most of our projects involve integrations of disparate (and often legacy) business systems, so you&#x27;ll need to be comfortable jumping around.<p>If any of this sounds interesting to you, let&#x27;s talk!  Email me at &lt;really anything at all&gt; @ &lt;hn username&gt; dot com.
